A Heart Devoted

Whole-hearted Devotion; A Willing Mind; Pure Thoughts and Motives

Until you remove the sin...

“... I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction... You cannot stand against your enemies until your remove it.”

Joshua 12, 13

Until you remove the sin, the Lord cannot exalt you into greatness; the Lord cannot give you victory over your battles (enemies).  Therefore, whatever is keeping you from God’s amazing blessings must be removed... removed immediately!

Freedom that never quits

“Since we’re free in freedom of God, can we do anything that comes to mind?  Hardly.  You know well enough from your own experience that there are some acts of so-called freedom that destroy freedom.  Offer yourselves to sin, for instance, and it’s your last free act.  But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the freedom never quits.”

Romans 6:15-16 MSG

Live a life of sin and there is no such thing as freedom.  However, live a life devoted to God and everlasting freedom becomes yours!  

Destroy the evil from within

"... I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction." 

Joshua 7:12

Until we rid our hearts of all evil, anger, resentment, and darkness, we will not see or feel the glory of God in our lives.  Therefore, clean out and come clean.  

It's time; it's time to rid all darkness... yes, it is most definitely time!!

Walk in love

Be imitators of God! How? Walk in Love.

  

How do you walk in love?  By being this kind of person: warm, devoted, unselfish, loyal, concerned, respectful, honest, sincere, pure, and kind, to everyone.  Even people that are evil?  Yes!  You don't have to make a point to become part of their lives, and it is OK to keep your distance, but pray for them,  refuse to retaliate wrong for wrong, and let God do the rest. 

My friends, Love heals,  Love brings light, Love restores,  Love helps,  Love can conquer the devil,  Love can bridge the broken,  Love can conquer all the forces of darkness,  Love is everything ~

Love is God.

Righteousness: just, fair, honorable, upright, respectful, devoted, and good.

“And the effect of righteousness will be peace [internal and external], and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever” Isaiah 32:17

Make a point to be a righteous person, live a righteous life, give righteous advice and answers, and love in a righteous manner.  By doing so, then (as written in the verse above), peace, quietness, and confident trust will be yours to have and live.
